Super All-around Point Guard

Chapter 660 A superstar showdown with George!

The Staples Center was in a state of carnival. They couldn’t remember the last time they saw a winning opponent at home. They thought that Xie Chen would complete this attack by himself, but they didn’t expect that Xie Chen would make such an important attack. It was handed over to rookie Ingram, and I didn't expect that Ingram didn't panic when he made his first NBA buzzer-beater and hit the goal!

Everything was wonderful, and the Lakers fans had smiles of satisfaction on their faces.

When Ingram shot this buzzer-beating shot, his mind went blank. Fortunately, Xie Chen attracted most of the defensive players, making it easier for Ingram to shoot. Otherwise, Ingram really wasn't sure. The shot was made. Even under such a defensive situation, Ingram still didn't know whether he could withstand the pressure and make the shot. He had no confidence at all, so the moment he saw the basketball enter the net, Ingram was excited. The ground jumped up on the field.

"Win! We won! I hit the ball!" Ingram shouted excitedly. In the third game of his career, he hit the buzzer-beating ball, and the opponent was a strong team. This joy is indescribable. , He knew that all this was due to Xie Chen. Without Xie Chen's help, he would not have been able to accomplish this feat, so Ingram pounced on Xie Chen immediately.

The rest of the Lakers rushed toward Xie Chen excitedly. It was really uncomfortable to be surrounded by so many big men. Xie Chen was used to killing and was already a little numb to this kind of goal. Moreover, this ball was very harmful to the Lakers. It is not a life-or-death ball. If the Lakers were one point behind and Ingram hit this ball, maybe Xie Chen would also be very excited.

"Hey, it was Ingram who made the kill, why are you all jumping on me?" Xie Chen couldn't help but push his teammates away and complained.

Watching the Lakers players celebrating happily on the court, the Clippers players were all low in morale and listless. This was their first defeat in the new season. Unexpectedly, they lost to the Lakers, which made them feel a little agitated for a moment. It's hard to accept. In their hearts, they will ask themselves, why did the Lakers beat them?

Ingram and others rushed to the locker room excitedly. When everyone came to the locker room, the carnival continued. Although Ingram, a rookie, had just joined the Lakers, he got along well with his teammates, including Nick Young and Clark. Sen, etc., Ingram has a good personality, everyone likes him very much, and everyone is happy for him when they see him contribute the winning goal to the team.

"Brandon, you are so awesome. You hit a buzzer beater in your third game in the NBA. When I played in my 300th game, I didn't even know what a buzzer beater felt like." Nick Young told Ying excitedly. Gram high-fives.

Ingram took off his jersey, feeling covered in sweat, and said with a smile: "If Xie hadn't created such a good opportunity for me, I wouldn't have succeeded in the first kill. Thank you, boss."

Xie Chen smiled and said nothing. It was quite satisfying to watch his teammates get excited quietly.

The Knicks also walked towards Xie Chen and asked: "How's it going? I did a good job with Larry Nance's alley-oops today, right? Have we already taken over the 'Alley-oop City'?"

Xie Chen didn’t expect Nick Young to know him so well. Regarding the matter of snatching the Clippers’ “Alley-oop City”, Xie Chen did not discuss it with anyone, nor did he tell them before the game that there would be more alley-oops in this game. Something like that, but Nick Yang could guess what Xie Chen was thinking.

Xie Chen smiled and said: "Yes, your alley-oop cooperation is wonderful, no less than my cooperation with Brandon. Not only did we win the ball today, but we also won beautifully. Since you know me so well, I believe that our cooperation in the future will embarrass many opponents.”

"Hahaha, that's a must! I'm going to post on Twitter to announce that the city of alley-oops now belongs to the Lakers!" Nick Young laughed twice. He was looking forward to more and more pretentious cooperation with Xie Chen in the future. Today It was just the beginning, and the two did not cooperate directly.

Luke Walton saw that the players were so happy and couldn't bear to disturb them. The feeling of winning against a strong team is different from that of winning against a weak team. This huge sense of achievement is enjoyable.

After a moment, Luke Walton said to everyone: "Guys, we have won three consecutive games. We have a very good start to the new season. This is great. I believe many people will be surprised that we can achieve such a start. , including ourselves, after this game against the Clippers, I think everyone will realize one thing, that is, our Lakers are now also a strong team!"

The Lakers are also a strong team!

Walton's words are deeply engraved in the minds of every Lakers player. When Xie Chen asked all Lakers players to prepare for the playoffs from now on, everyone still felt that Xie Chen had a set goal. It's too high, but now, they can even defeat the Clippers, which has proven that they are qualified to break through in the Western Conference!

After these three games, Clarkson had to admit that Xie Chen's strength alone was enough to make a qualitative change in a team. At this time, Clarkson couldn't help but said to Xie Chen: "I will train hard and complete your mission." If you ask, I will also practice long passing.”

Xie Chen's efforts in the last quarter were indeed in vain. After winning against the Clippers, the Lakers players really gained confidence. Xie Chen looked at the crowd and said to everyone: "We can't relax now. We must try our best to continue this winning streak." Let’s wait a little longer. We will play the Pacers in the next away game, and the Hornets and Suns in the next game. In Game 7, our opponent is the most difficult Golden State Warriors in the league. Before meeting the Warriors, I don’t want the Lakers to lose. Drop any ball!”

The Lakers' seventh game is against the Warriors. For Xie Chen and the Lakers, the showdown is a bit too early. The Lakers lineup has not been well adjusted, and Xie Chen has not copied any of his new abilities. Fortunately, the Warriors have Du. Lant will also need time to adjust in the future, but at present, it is really difficult to face the Warriors, so Xie Chen must strive for every victory before the Warriors.

The Indiana Pacers didn't have a very ideal start, with one win and two losses. This time they face the Los Angeles Lakers at home, and they will do their best to win this victory.

As long as the Pacers have a healthy Paul George, the Pacers will be a team that cannot be underestimated. After experiencing an accidental injury, Paul George's performance after his comeback was amazing, with scores reaching new highs, 19 points in a single quarter and 19 points in a single game. 48+10, or 7 steals in a single game, as well as those signature windmill dunks, 360-degree turning dunks... This looks even more terrifying than before the injury.

In addition to Paul George, the Pacers have added new players such as Al Jefferson, Thaddeus Young, Jeff Teague, and Brooks. Larry Bird is also doing his best to help Paul George and try his best to bring the Pacers To build a team capable of winning championships, but these lineups are nothing compared to the luxury combinations of other teams, and they are not very competitive.

The entire Lakers team flew to Indiana on a special plane. This was the first time Xie Chen returned to the Eastern Conference to play in the new season. For him, an "old Eastern player", it was still a bit emotional. He has been in the Eastern Conference for the past two seasons. These opponents are the ones he is most familiar with.

After Xie Chen came to Indiana, Paul George called Xie Chen and told him that after the game, George held a party at home and invited Xie Chen to attend.

George and Xie Chen have a pretty good relationship now. When they first came into contact, George had just come back and Xie Chen had just made a name for himself. At that time, George was still very unconvinced with Xie Chen. Slowly, he watched Xie Chen create things again and again. After winning the championship, George had to admire Xie Chen. After that, every time the two faced off, George enjoyed it.

At the Rio Olympics in Brazil, after George saw with his own eyes how Xie Chen defeated professional track and field athletes and professional swimmers, George's admiration for Xie Chen reached its highest level. In fact, George's invitation to Xie Chen for dinner and a party was mainly The purpose is to see Xie Chen swimming again.

Arriving at the familiar arena, the fans here were no strangers to Xie Chen, and some even cheered for Xie Chen.

Paul George was also very happy to see Xie Chen and said to Xie Chen: "Hey, buddy, welcome to play in the East! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for leaving. This way, our Pacers will have a greater chance of advancing to the finals. "

Xie Chen smiled: "Don't think that if you invite me to a party, I will let this game go. We are on a winning streak, and I will not lose before meeting the Warriors."

Paul George laughed and said: "You are still so competitive. Don't worry, the party is a party. Once the game starts, I will treat you as my opponent and I will try my best to defeat you."

At the beginning of the game, Xie Chen hit two consecutive three-pointers on the head of new Pacers point guard Jeff Teague, leaving both Teague and new Pacers coach McMillan a bit at a loss.

Jeff Teague is not very tall, only 188cm, but his jumping and explosive power are pretty good. He often performs violent dunks, but often dunks. Finally, one of his dunks went into the basket, and it was a domineering dunk from behind, which was simply amazing. The blood was boiling, but an offensive foul was called.

It was very easy for Xie Chen to shoot in front of Teague. Teague was a little unconvinced. What happened to Xie Chen?

Teague couldn't help but asked Xie Chen: "Man, I don't seem to have offended you, right? Why did you shoot me two three-pointers in a row? What you did is not in line with the basic routine!"

Xie Chen didn’t look kindly on Teague: “In the past two seasons, I have been counting on you Hawks to defeat the Cavaliers in the playoffs. For this reason, I deliberately let you go, allowing you to score and lose to you, but you let I'm disappointed."

Teague was a little surprised, and then he realized that it was Xie Chen who deliberately lost to the Eagles in those two games!

Teague said helplessly: "If we can, we also want to beat the Cavaliers. There is really a gap in team strength, but this year I partner with Paul George. Maybe we can stop LeBron!"

Xie Chen had a helpless expression. When he was in the Eastern Conference in the previous two seasons, you had no confidence. Now that Xie Chen has left the Eastern Conference and gone to the Western Conference, you are more confident!

The main players of the Pacers have good personal abilities and should not be underestimated. At least the Lakers can't take advantage of them if they compete with them using conventional playing methods, especially Paul George's superstar role is even more prominent.

George scored one after another, and the Lakers had no players who could limit him. Especially when George played Ingram alone, he not only scored easily, but George also made some playful moves to tease Ingram. Fortunately, Ingram was there. After accumulating confidence in the first three games, he was no longer beaten by George. He would occasionally face George and respond to one or two difficult shots.

Paul George also had a new understanding of Ingram and couldn't help but said to Xie Chen: "This rookie of yours looks good. The way he scored just now is exactly the same as the way I hit him before. This kid can actually use me." Responded to me in such a way, no wonder you cultivated him so much and gave him a chance to win in the last game."

Xie Chen was also very happy when he heard his opponent praising the younger brother he was cultivating with great care: "If he can reach your level in the future, my training of him today will not be in vain."

George looked at Xie Chen and smiled. He suddenly felt that Xie Chen was like a veteran who had been playing in the league for many years, just like Kobe who was about to retire before, to train the team's future stars, but Xie Chen is still at the top of his game. .

In the third quarter, the two superstars who were both at their peak finally started a personal duel. Xie Chen scored consecutive shots and dunks, and George also scored consecutive shots and dunks. The two superstars took over the game. Both of them were extremely accurate during this period, making perfect shots and dunks. As long as there was no one defending the basket, it would never be just a simple one-handed or two-handed dunk. There must be windmills and 360-degree turns. Such an exciting dunk, the scene has been turned into an All-Star Dunk Contest by the two!

"Oh my god... Paul George just stole the ball and completed a 360-degree dunk, and Xie immediately responded with the exact same dunk. Does this mean we are going to score?"

“It’s incomprehensible that there are so many seats left in the arena for such an exciting game! Frankly speaking, in today’s league, there are no other players in this league who can compare shooting, dribbling, scoring, and dunking with an all-around player like Xie. Paul George, not many can do it, Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant are a little behind in dunking, LeBron James is weak in shooting, maybe Westbrook will be the only candidate besides Paul George."

This is indeed the case. There are really not many people in the league who can compare and respond to Xie Chen in all aspects. Paul George is very strong in shooting and dunking ability, and he was also very good in steals tonight. The two of them The game was very enjoyable for the audience.

After responding to Xie Chen's three-pointer again, Paul George's score has exceeded 35 points, and Xie Chen is only two points away from breaking the 30-point mark. Xie Chen is enjoying the current duel with George. But after he scores next time, he must first face the challenge of the legendary pacer!
